Verse 1
(G major) (E minor) (C major) (D major) (A major) As (D major) your (C major) genial host,
may I offer a toast
To the wine (G major) -buying guest on (C major) my right
(A major) Hooray (D major) for the wine -buyer!
Yes, drag out (C major) the cookin' sherry
for (D major) the old colonel
May his (G major) bank account
(C major) grow heavy -laden with dough
May he spend (D major) it in here (A major) every (D major) night
Every night
See (G major) ing this night (B major) in its glory, (E minor)
you people so loyal, (B major) so true, (E minor)
puts me in mind (E flat major) of (D major) a story.
(E minor) Tell us about (A major) it, pray do. (D major)
The people (G major) in the ballroom
(A minor) were (E minor) stuffy and (C major) arty,
(A minor) so (G major) I began (E minor) to get just a little bit afraid.
(D major) I sneaked (G major) into the kitchen. (A minor)
I (E minor) dug (G major) me a party
the (C major) (G major) waiter and the (E minor) porter
and the second story (C major) made
(D major) I peeked (G major) into the parlor
(A minor) to (G major) see what was a (C major) hatching in (G major) time
to hear the (E minor) hostess sug (A major) gest a charade
(D major) But (G major) who was in the (A minor) pantry
a (C major) laughing and scratching?
(D major) wait (G major) and the (E minor) border and the upstair (D major) s
(G major) When they (D major) heard the (G major) music
that the (D major) orchestra played
the (C major) waiter and the porter
grabbed a hold of the maid
Then (E minor) they all proceeded to go into a clog
A (E major) (E minor) diggit (D major) y -dog
(E minor) If (G major) ever (C major) I'm invited to
some fuddy (E minor) (G major) -duddy's
(D major) I (G major) ain't a (E minor) -gonna watch
any harlequin -ade (D major)
You'll (G major) find him in the (C major) kitchen
applaud (G major) ing his buddies
(C major) The waiter and (G major) the (E minor) porter
and the upstair (D major) s man
(G major) (E flat major) (C major)
Well, pardon me, folks,
the roast is (E minor) carved
The (C major) wine is served while
you look half -starved (G major)
Par (C major) don me, sir, may we (G major) be free
(E minor) The (A minor) kitchen guard is having (A major) a jambor (D major)
(G major) ee (C major) (E flat major) (G major) (C major)
(E flat major)
I (D major) (G major) went and (C major) got a dishpan
to use as a thimble
The (G major) porter found a (E minor) regular
glass that (C major) he played (D major)
The (G major) fingers (C major) of the waiter
were each in a thimble
He (G major) should have heard the music
(E minor) that the combina (D major) tion made (E minor)
(C major) (E minor) (C major) (B major) (E minor) (C major)
(E minor) (B major) (E minor)
March (G major) ing through the kitchen
to the pantry and back
Why, (C major) man, you should have seen us,
we were ballin' with Jack
Once a half an hour passed
without any (E minor) call
(E major) Jack, (D major) we had a ball
(C major) The (G major) waltzes (C major) and mazurkas,
we hate them, we spurn them, (D major)
we (G major) got a (E minor) lot of rhythms,
we (C major) want to (A major) hear play, yes, (D major)
and (G major) we know (C major) who to go to
when we want (G major) to learn them,
the waiter and the porter
and (E minor) the upstairs man. (D major)
